RHCSA

I am interested in Python development and stable distribution.

I was involved in Russian translation group several years ago and worked in Zanata.

I am on RHEL8 now and there is no my favorite IRC client in default repositories - weechat.

So when I install EPEL I found is was not there too.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1753203 was created to ask build new package for EL8.

I had some time to build weechat 2.6 on my RHEL 8. And as I need it in several other laptops and desktops I have, I decided to make temporary RPM package before maintainers do.

I was join #epel to ask about details and procedures. According several Fedora Project Packaging links I've got the spec file from EL7 and adapt it from 2.2-2 to 2.6 weechat version. Make some other changes and create my own temporary package. I tested it in my localhost installation. Works fine for me.

So I came here to share my spec file which may be interesting for weechat maintainers to review.

I hope this letter will decrease the waiting time I can access EL8 package.

Thanks.
